Pre Match Press
Conference Highlights |
|
 |
"There
isan incredible intensity in this derby game now,
which was not there 10 or 15 years ago"
"Now the
meetings with City are ones of great intensity,
which is built up by the media explosion around what
they are doing and what they are trying to achieve,"
he said, referring to City's major spending in the
transfer market.
"It is difficult to say whether it is inevitable
they are eventually going to win the league.
"Obviously, in many people's eyes, having the money
is a lot better than not, but this is still a
difficult league to win. City recognise that
themselves.
"But there is nothing more satisfying than winning a
derby game. It doesn't matter what year it is or
when it is." |
